DiMaS: distributing multimedia on peer-to-peer file sharing networks

This demonstration presents the Digital Content Distribution Management System (DiMaS). DiMaS proves as a concept that it is possible to make a system for multimedia producing communities to publish their work on highly popular P2P networks, and importantly, the system enables producers to insert content metadata, to manage intellectual property and usage rights, and to charge for the consumption. All this can be done without introducing another new content or metadata file format and a dedicated client application to read the format.
